Dremel tool with the brass brush attachement. :big_grin:

A brass or steel file brush with oil applied to the face of the file is what I use. The oil helps float debris off (particularly metal fililngs), and serves as a rust inhibitor.

There are file brushes made for these purposes. One side is a fiber brush, the other little metal teeth for heavy cleaning. I use one with a generous dosing of isopropyl alcohol to get out the gunk.

Cleaning files?

What's the best way to get rid of of caked on model filler, resin etc. on fine metal files? For plastic I just heat up the metal and then swipe it off with a wet cloth. I've tried this with dried filler etc. but it doesn't work. Any suggestions please?

Thanks
Max
